2. Student Activity Funds
Student activity funds belong to the students and staff.
These funds are generated through fundraising activities, donations, fees and vending machine commissions.
The Funds are used to finance activities that supplement the educational curriculum of the district.
Money raised must be expended to benefit the students currently enrolled.
Money raised follows the student (i.e. Money left over from a first grade fundraiser at the end of the year will benefit second grade students the following school year. Money leftover from a graduating class will go to the General Student Account.)

When able to count the money immediately, she will then verify the deposit, sign the ‘Counted By’ line, write the receipt, attach receipt to yellow copy and give back to the sponsor
